19 Eliza Street, Black Rock, Vic 3193

The original landholding property of the area, this veranda-wrapped beauty retains all the grace and grandeur of yesterday with exactly the right amount of sun-bathed northerly land (525sqm) for today.

Less than 10 doors from the Half Moon Bay clifftop in the heart of the Golden Triangle, this substantial three bedroom plus home-office, 1.5 bathroom home stretches wide to offer an entertaining dual zone floorplan featuring a fine formal lounge and an expansive north-facing family zone ?both opening through slender French doors to the wide verandas that wrap the home.

Grandly proportioned with lofty rose-centred ceilings above warm Baltic Pine boards, the home features every period detail including two magnificent fireplaces (one for the lounge, one for the master) and fabulous fretwork bracketing the hall. Renovated in sophisticated style with a stone-finished masterchef kitchen featuring commercial-style 1200mm Ilve range, the home stars a timeless bathroom with marble-topped vanity and contemporary details including ducted heating, cooling and practical plantation shutters.

Set in formally landscaped surrounds with deep awning-shaded decking reaching out to north sun and boardwalks leading to a charming cottage-style separate home-office, this solid Gold original even has a Golden address - with the bay within steps, Black Rock Village within a minute and primary schools and the private school bus within reach.
